The conflict escalated into a war between races, with the Human race battling against various other races. The foreign races had more powerful individuals but fewer numbers.
The Human race, despite having more people, had fewer strong cultivators. A few humans might not be a match for one of the opposing race's warriors, yet there were still some formidable figures among them who fought fiercely, showering the battlefield with blood and leaving a profound shock upon the foreign races.
However, this also brought about a death sentence upon them. Specific powerful individuals from the foreign races targeted the Human race's strongest warriors, especially the young prodigies. Several aged, powerful beings emerged and cornered them.
Some of the foreign race's powerhouses aimed to extinguish the future of the Human race, particularly the young prodigies. These foreign races wished to sever the Human race's future right there and then.
As long as the Human race had no more prodigies, there would naturally be no powerful cultivators emerging in the future, and they would inevitably be eliminated by the world of the Great Wilderness.
This was precisely what these foreign races were doing now – using various provocations against the Human race to stimulate their strong cultivators to emerge.
Young, strong Human cultivators, as long as they possessed a shred of courage, would step forward, and then they could be killed.
This was the foreign races' tactic. Though it was cliché, it had to be admitted that it was indeed quite effective.
Ye Xun and Zhou Yan were not natives of this world, so they did not intervene.
They did not wish to act in matters that did not concern them. They were like observers watching a movie in the real world; although they could alter the course of events here, they chose not to.
"Let's go inside and take a look. The residence of a peak Half-God expert should contain some good items," Zhou Yan suggested.
"Let's go," Ye Xun nodded and followed Zhou Yan forward.
Naturally, their actions did not escape the notice of the foreign races. Several powerhouses from the Nightmare race saw the two daring to approach the residence of a Half-God expert and felt their presence was utterly disregarded.
"Kill those two humans."
Several powerhouses from the Nightmare race unleashed a potent Nightmare energy, which transformed into a dark wave and surged towards the duo.
Ye Xun unleashed a beam of light, emitting sharp, blade-like energy that disintegrated the Nightmare energy into ashes and annihilated the Nightmare race powerhouses who had attacked.
"Bang! Bang!!!"
The corpses of several Nightmare race powerhouses plummeted from the sky. Some foreign race powerhouses lurking in the shadows, upon witnessing the strength of the two, remarked, "Unexpectedly, we've managed to draw out two Human powerhouses."
"We cannot let them leave alive."
"It's surprising that two Human powerhouses actually exist. They don't appear to be very old. Such Humans must not be allowed to live."
Four or five foreign race powerhouses emanated overwhelming killing intent, surrounding the duo. They chuckled, "To possess such astonishing strength at such a young age is unbecoming. We cannot spare you."
Zhou Yan looked at these individuals and stated, "Do you think you can stop me?"
"Haha, your Human race is already so weakened, yet you still dare to be so arrogant. You must be a prodigy from some ancient family. Since you've come out, don't even think about returning."
"We'll take your lives, and in the future, more of your Human race will descend to accompany you."
"Kid, you're not old, but your tone is immense. Let me see what kind of strength you possess to be so arrogant."
A foreign race individual, with two horns resembling ox horns, unleashed a beam of blue light, dyeing a vast expanse of the sky in azure.
The brilliant blue light enveloped the sky and earth, imbued with supreme divine might, capable of corrupting everything.
Zhou Yan simply raised his palm and punched the void.
Yet, this seemingly simple punch was like a torrent of extreme heavenly might. A divine power of the Dao emanated from it, and the entire world seemed to resonate with a celestial fluctuation.
"Boom!"
The blue light was instantly obliterated by Zhou Yan, without the slightest ripple.
"How could this be!" That foreign race individual felt an immense sense of crisis, filled with inexplicable terror, and wished to escape, but the entire void was sealed.
This foreign race individual discovered that he was utterly immobilized, locked in place!
"No, break for me!" The foreign race individual's expression changed drastically. He produced an offensive artifact, intending to break through the spatial confinement and flee. The destructive Dao might was rapidly crushing down upon him.
"Ah!"
This foreign race powerhouse, along with his artifact, vanished into nothingness, disappearing before their eyes.
"How could this be!"
"Who exactly is this person!"
"Such powerful divine might, what kind of technique is this? Could it be a divine skill!"
The remaining four foreign race powerhouses were extremely astonished. Though they suspected a divine skill, their greed grew, and they looked at Zhou Yan with immense killing intent.
"Kill!"
The four foreign race powerhouses, all Half-God experts, each produced an artifact and unleashed powerful divine might, transforming into a wave of destructive energy that surged towards the duo.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Yan let out a cold snort, utterly dismissive. He acted simply, as if casually waving his hand, and the entire void suddenly erupted with immense fluctuations.
A terrifying ocean wave appeared and rushed towards them. Their attacks, falling into this sea, were like small stones tossed into the ocean, merely creating a slight splash.
"How could this be!"
"Divine might, he is a god-like being, a Divine Realm expert! A Divine Realm expert has appeared among the Human race!"
"Escape, quick, escape!"
The surrounding foreign races heard this and were instantly thrown into a state of panic and despair, filled with terror. They wished to flee the area as quickly as possible.
To wave one's hand and control the heavens and earth, where everything was governed by laws, and the energy of their attacks was filled with the sounds of the Dao – only a Divine Realm expert could achieve this.
These foreign races were overwhelmingly worried and fearful. They had never imagined encountering a Human who had attained the Divine Realm. This was something that would undoubtedly strike fear into all races.
They had to disseminate this information and rally all their clansmen to withdraw from their current alliances. A Divine Realm expert had appeared among the Human race; opposing them would be inviting disaster.
"You still wish to leave." Since Zhou Yan had made his move, how could he allow them an opportunity to escape? Their spatial confinement was absolute; they couldn't even move.
This further instilled immense terror in the foreign race powerhouses. They were Half-God experts, yet they couldn't even muster a single chance to retaliate.
Only a few foreign race powerhouses holding quasi-divine artifacts could counterattack, attempting to break through the sealed space, but alas, after prolonged efforts, they were still unsuccessful.
"Spare me, release me! I will never dare to attack you again. If you spare me, I will surely restrain my people and remain in seclusion for eternity."
One Half-God foreign race powerhouse had completely given up resistance, utterly devoid of any ability to fight back. Their counterattacks were laughable. They directly pleaded for mercy.
"Pfft!"
Zhou Yan paid no heed to their plea for mercy. He directly pierced through their bodies, turning their corpses into a rain of blood.
The fate of utter annihilation, with not even bones remaining, caused the surrounding foreign races to tremble. They all retreated together, looking at Zhou Yan with terror.
